1 Prentice Hall Writing and Grammar: Communication In Action 2004, Silver Level Ohio Academic Content Standards, Grade-Level Indicators, English Language Arts (Grade 8) Grade Eight Phonemic Awareness, Word Recognition and Fluency Fluency continues to develop past the primary grades. Readers increase their rate of oral reading to near conversational pace. They show their appropriate use of pauses, pitch, stress and intonation that they are reading in clauses and sentence units to support comprehension. They gain control over a wider, complex sight vocabulary and over longer syntactic structures, so that they are able to read progressively more demanding texts with greater ease. Silent reading becomes considerably faster than oral reading and becomes the preferred, more efficient way to process everyday texts. Acquisition of Vocabulary Contextual Understanding, Conceptual Understanding, Structural Understanding, and Tools and Resources 1. Define unknown words through context clues and the author s use of comparison, contrast and cause and effect. 2. Apply knowledge of connotation and denotation to determine the meaning of words. 3. Identify the relationships of pairs of words in analogical statements (e.g., synonyms and antonyms) and infer word meanings from these relationships. 4. Infer the literal and figurative meaning of words and phrases and discuss the function of figurative language, including metaphors, similes and idioms. 5. Examine and discuss the ways that different events (e.g., cultural, political, social, technological, and scientific events) impact and change the English language. 6. Use knowledge of Greek, Latin and Anglo-Saxon roots, prefixes and suffixes to understand complex words and new subject-area vocabulary (e.g., unknown words in science, mathematics and social studies).

SE/TE: 698, 701, , Book, 22, Reading Process: Concepts of Print, Comprehension Strategies; Self-Monitoring Strategies; and Independent Readings and Self-Monitoring Strategies In Grades 8 through 12, students should read purposefully and automatically, using the comprehension and selfmonitoring strategies outlined in previous grades. As they encounter increasingly challenging content-area and literary texts, student may more consciously employ these strategies and benefit from teacher modeling of the reading process. Comprehension Strategies; Self-Monitoring Strategies; and Independent ReadingsSelf-Monitoring Strategies and Independent Reading 1. Apply reading comprehension strategies, including making predictions, comparing and contrasting, recalling and summarizing and making inferences and drawing conclusions. 2. Answer literal, inferential, evaluative and synthesizing questions to demonstrate comprehension of grade-appropriate print texts and electronic and visual media. 3. Monitor own comprehension by adjusting speed to fit the purpose, or by skimming, scanning, reading on, looking back, note taking or summarizing what has been read so far in text. 4. Use criteria to choose independent reading materials (e.g., personal interest, knowledge of authors and genres, or recommendations from others). 5. Independently read books for various purposes (e.g., for enjoyment, for literary experience, to gain information or to perform a task).
